Haywood Burns Institute (BI) which is a black-led national nonprofit that is working to transform the notion of what justice means. BI employs strategies and tactics to establish a community-centered approach of justice administration that is anchored in structural well-being. You will hear about the historical perspective regarding the impact of structural racism on the development of human services work and also have the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of what we need to consider to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities within systems.
